Brother Knights,
I hope everyone is doing well. It appears that we have jumped straight from Summer to Winter! Maybe Fall will sneak its head in this month. I’ve been really busy with replacing both cars and getting a new roof as a result of the September hailstorm. Rebecca & I are both enjoying our new vehicles. I was lucky enough to have spent some relaxing time out at a lake house this past month. I don’t remember the last time I did it, however, it was really cool watching the eclipse. We had a perfect day and a good time socializing. Last week I had an enjoyable time watching the RR Dragons and the Texas Longhorns win their football games. Last week I attended a fundraising banquet in support of Central Texas Fellowship of Catholic Men (CTFCM). The keynote speaker, David Bereit, was really good. Among other activities, David is a mentor for young ministry leaders and is the founder and former CEO of 40 Days for Life. He told his story of how he waited for ever to convert to Catholicism, down to Holy Saturday before he took his vows. He was a dynamic speaker on the topic of pro-life. You could feel his energy. He was doing what we are all called to do: Evangelize. Brothers, I suggest that all of us find the virtue that we are passionate about and pursue it. Put your trust in Jesus and he will give you the words needed.

Thank you to those that have supported the Food Drive on Monday afternoons. We have processed just shy of 8K lbs of food. Also, thank you to those that have been attending the 1st Friday Adoration, followed by the fellowship. We our entering our end of year activities. Please step up when called for the following:
